A ½ point bye may be taken in
rounds 1–4.
All moves in 90
minutes plus 30 second increment per move from
move 1.
Re-pairing will take place 30 minutes
after the start of a round. Players will be
defaulted 30 minutes after the scheduled start
of a round.
Players’ ECF standardplay ratings from the
January 2025 list will be used for determining
allocation to sections, tournament pairings, and
best performance prizes.
Players without an ECF standardplay rating
will have a rating assigned to them by the
organiser based on any other rating information
they have, such as their FIDE standardplay
rating, their ECF rapidplay rating, or a rating
from another national federation. Any rating so
assigned will be at the organiser’s discretion,
and the organiser’s decision is final. Such
players are encouraged to check their section
eligibility before entering the tournament.
All sections will be both FIDE and ECF rated.
There is an additional pay to play fee for
non-ECF members or Bronze-level ECF members of
£15.00 (juniors £6.00). Entrants
who are not under 18 years of age on Friday 17
January 2025 should pay the £15.00 adult pay
to play fee.
Prizes may be changed subject to numbers of
entries.
The 4NCL reserves the right to transfer
players between sections at any time.
All pairings will be made using Swiss-Manager
FIDE Swiss pairing rules.
The submission of an entry form and payment
of the entry fee denotes acceptance that the
4NCL’s decision is final in all matters.
The 4NCL reserves the right to refuse any
entry without explanation.
